It's Your Move - Eco-friendly Move Move Smart! Think Green! - SayNoToBoxes

It is estimated that more than one third of landfill space consists of paper, cardboard or corrugate by-products.

The recycling attributes of cardboard / paper products are limited and can not be recycled indefinitely. All cardboard products eventually become solid waste for the landfill.

There are a number of cardboard products treated with films and chemicals which render them un-recyclable, equating to one time use only.

It is estimated that in British Columbia an estimated 10,000 - 15,000 residential moves take place every year. If you were to consider that an average 4 bedroom house requires approximately 60-70 cardboard boxes. The number of boxes eventually making their way to landfill becomes difficult to even imagine.

The number one way to reduce solid waste in landfills is by reuse. As such, reusability has been deemed a far superior attribute than simply recycling.
